12. International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week   Scope   New Member State collection target   Higher recovery, reuse & recycling targets   Annex on Shipments WEEE Recast - Main Issues

13. International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week old Directive Ten Categories  Large household appliances  Small household appliances  IT & Telecomms equipment  Consumer equipment  Lighting equipment  Electrical & Electronic Tools  Toys, Leisure & Sports equipment  Medical Devices  Monitoring & Control Instruments  Automatic Dispensers New Directive  The original ten Categories for 6 years on a ‘closed’ scope basis, (plus the addition of Photovoltaic Panels in Category 4).  Then streamlined to six Categories on an ‘open’ scope basis -  Temperature Exchange Equipment; Screens & Monitors; Lamps; Large Equipment; Small Equipment; Small IT and telecommunication equipment Scope

14. International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week  Unlike RoHS, no change or expansion to the definition of electrical and electronic equipment   ‘EEE’ means equipment which is dependent on electric currents or electromagnetic fields in order to work properly ….etc No change to the definition of EEE

15. International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week New Directive  Before 2016, each Member State shall ensure that it achieves the target of 4kg per capita or the same amount o f WEEE in weight as an average of the weight that was collected over the three preceding years  After four years, a move from a minimum of 4kg per capita to 45% POTM basis  After seven years, this target will change to either 65% POTM or 85% of WEEE Generated New Member State Collection Target Old Directive  4kg on average per inhabitant per year of separately collected WEEE from private households

16. International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week Old Directive  80% recovery and 75% recycling for Categories 1 and 10  75% recovery and 65% recycling for Categories 3 and 4  70% recovery and 50% recycling for Categories 2, 5, 6, 7 and 9  No targets for Category 8 Recovery, reuse & recycling targets New Directive  The introduction of 70% recovery and 50% recycling for Category 8 immediately  All targets to be increased by 5% after three years, with a new 80% recycling target for gas discharge lamps  Within four years, the Commission will examine the case for a mandatory 5% reuse target to be shown separately from the recycling target level

17. International Telecommunication Union Committed to connecting the world 4 th ITU Green Standards Week  Introduction of minimum monitoring requirements for the shipment of WEEE/used EEE  New Annex IV addresses widespread concerns over illegal exports  Interface with Waste Shipment Regulations Annex on Shipments
